Jersey Voices has provided a venue for New Jersey playwrights to showcase their new works since 1995. Each year we hope to present the very best, new, original one-act plays by New Jersey authors. There’s a risk in coming to see any author’s new work, whether you’ve heard of them before or not. It’s brave and courageous, and we’re grateful our audience trusts us enough to share the experience. Jersey Voices has presented the work of more than 70 authors in their 22 years.  This year’s production will include six original short plays written by New Jersey playwrights.

Each of the following pieces will be performed each night of the festival: A Dog’s Life by Robert Scott Sullivan of Brick: The silly, exciting, adventure of a day with your dog. Badger and Maddy by Dianna Lewis of Montclair: A two-character comedy that shows us wisdom can come from unusual places. Zarg by Walter Placzek of Monroe: The play is both funny and touching. Spirited, well-meaning people find love and connection in very difficult circumstances. Hair, Shoes Coffee by Eleanor Kennedy of Chatham: A fun comedy piece requiring a lot of acting "in between the lines." Examines the morning rituals of a woman through the eyes of her male friend. Knock Out by G. David Post of Sparta: When love comes knock-knocking you might laugh or you might roll your eyes -- but if you know the punchline, it could be the start of something. In Reverse Order by Eric Alter of Livingston: "Well, I have an incredible porno collection." A guy, a gal, a blind date...Comedy ensues. *All seating is reserved.
